REGISTRATION NOW OPEN: 2016 National Cleanup Workshop

Registration is now open for the 2016 National Cleanup Workshop, scheduled for September 14-15, 2016, at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center in Alexandria, Va.

ECA will host the event in cooperation with DOE and the Energy Facility Contractors Group.

The workshop will bring together senior DOE executives and site officials, industry executives, and other stakeholders to discuss EM's progress on the cleanup of the environmental legacy of the nation’s Manhattan Project and Cold War nuclear weapons program.

EM senior leadership set to participate in the workshop include Assistant Secretary Monica Regalbuto, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Mark Whitney, and Acting Associate Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Frank Marcinowski.

Topics will include:

The path forward for high-level waste at EM’s Hanford and Savannah River sites;
Waste Isolation Pilot Plant recovery and the National TRU Program;
Upcoming acquisitions and procurement policy changes;
Industry, community, and state perspectives on the future of cleanup;
Startup, construction, and commissioning progress in 2016;
Decommissioning successes and lessons learned;
Advanced robotics and other EM technology development priorities;
Maintaining a safety conscious work environment across the EM complex;
Bringing new workers to the EM cleanup program and effective human capital management; and
DOE’s path forward for defense high-level waste disposal
